The mean results of IL-17, IL-23, IL-21, IL-4, IL-12 cytokine concentration (pg/ml) in group 1 n = 23 (patients with HZ) and group 2 n = 21 (control group), including x ±SD.

Statistical analysis using ROC curves.
Analysis with the ROC curves showed that serum IL-17, IL-23, IL-21, IL-4 and IL-12 differentiate group 1 and group 2 (p<0.05).
